How far down the rabbit hole will the left go on gender?

@Axxowiz

The left has lost me here, we’re told not to eat a hamburger that has any GMO in it but are willing to give prepubescent children puberty blockers and hormones as if it was no biggie.

Who tells you not to eat any hamburger with any GMO in it?

Why is it that when someone advises you about something you consider it “being told to do something”…as if it is an affront to your freedom…but you don’t mind doing the reverse to…say…parents and their trans/maybe trans kids…without considering it an affront to their freedom?

No one is giving gender reassignment to toddlers. I was responding to your response about a 3 year old boy wanting to wear a dress.

Who the hell cares? As someone said kids go through all sorts of phases. I was super into My Little Pony when I was 4. Got bored and moved on to TMNT.

So if a kid wants to wear a dress then let them.

[Axxowiz]

Really? Who tells us not to eat GMO’s it’s been pounded out as unsafe because they are putting hormones in our foods, there is a reason Whole Foods and organic food took off in the market.

Now puberty blockers and hormone transitioning from any neutral source will tell you that it’s like the wild wild West they’re not sure it’s not been done long enough to know the effects of these drugs. I’m with you with adults, if and adult wants to chop off his penis and call himself Jill while pumping estrogen so be it.

But I don’t think a little Tommy or Sue at 12 years old should be making that decision and the parents should know better. The frontal lobe doesn’t fully form in the brain until age 25 what happens when they grow up and completely change their mind, who knows maybe it was just a phase?

Letting children express themselves is child abuse? Only to a Trumpster.

Letting a child make a decision, at the age of 3, that is totally…110% life altering…that has an attempted suicide rate that’s over 50% IS CHILD ABUSE. You’re better than this my friend. Don’t swallow this evil.

Buut buut, that’s only because in todays world people are mean to transgenders. So you should let them. The same way you should let them play in traffic because maybe some day all cars will have pedestrian anti-collision avoidance and it will be perfectly safe.

Well this is the most nonsensical post thus far in August I’ve read.

You’d think you guys would get tired of losing these battles year after year, decade after decade.

The normalization of pedophilia is definitely coming from the far left and could be the next civil rights push from them. Anyone paying attention can see the countless articles written on major leftwing sites already trying to normalize it. It’s coming and when it does no one should be surprised and if you oppose it you will be coined pedophobic.

Thinking, hey, maybe pedophiles can’t help themselves and that those who don’t act on those feelings aren’t monsters is a good thing because we can bring these people out of the shadows and help them. That line of thinking doesn’t at all imply a desire to redefine the laws related to sex with minors… its about helping people before they hurt someone.

The “far left” as a whole has no desire to legalized pedophilia.

The education of children is the role of their parents, not LGBT activists

There are plenty on the left who are pro-GMO as they are very helpful towards solving world hunger and the ones that make it to our table here in the US aren’t dangerous. There are also plenty on the right who are anti-GMO and only eat organic.

I think GMO is like vaccines in that its an issue that doesn’t exactly line up with the typical left-right divide.

Funny enough though, there is something that links anti-GMO folks, anti-vaccines folks, and man-caused-climate-change skeptics and that’s a distrust of science.

GMO’s are safe.

Eat them all you want.

Nothing new under the sun. There was a time and a place where random mobs could pound on your door demanding sex.

Considering the increased risk of death related to them, do you think that folks under 25 shouldn’t engage in professions like being a police officer, fire fighter, or joining the military since their brains aren’t fully developed enough?

Gender manipulation (pol. correct term: transformation) and the required therapy is a profession?

[fallenturtle]

I’m honestly surprised the DoD does. My understand was that the military wanted 18 year olds because they are much more malleable in regards to making good soldiers. I personally think it should be 21. When you have a situation where it legal to go off and die for your country, but you’re not allowed to drink alcohol, then somethings is wrong.

Drag Queen story time.

Our society is sick…one that certain political persuasion had created.

And people have every right to keep those individuals as far away from their kids as possible.

I think they’re perverted, sick. And people have a right to keep their kids as far away as possible.
